It's free, but you have to pick up your free tickets on the wednesday prior to the event.

Wait... ok, so in order for me to get an Apollo Bar, I have to drive 276 miles (138 one way) to get a ticket the week BEFORE the event, then drive another 276 miles the following week to actually GET the bar?

Forget it... at $3/gal for gas, car gets about 28 MPG and holds about 11 gal of gas... that's about 2.5 fillups at over $30 a fill... approx. $80 for a bar of chocolate. Y'know, I LOVE chocolate... but not THAT much.

Grumble... so um, Chicago has been eliminated from Apollo Distribution... why?

(I know, there are a zillion other places with absolutely no chance of seeing any chocolatey goodness at all, but it seems cruel to include Chicago then take it off then put it back on, then take it off again. Hmph.)

More updates
Looks like just deletions.
The 2 remaining Drive In at the Pier events in Santa Monica are gone.
The Acura event in Santa Monica is gone.
And Chicago's event is still cancelled.

Sorry Santa Monica. You've gone from 4 events to 1 event that was handled poorly that is already over.

They said to announce that the giveaway will not be occuring on whatever website i could, and also to let it be known that if the words 'apollo' and 'candy' are seen on the premises, they will be arrested."

Harrisburg, PA giveaway has been cancelled until further notice, apparently.

I went to the Seattle event a week ago, and the Lost bars were...well, lost. They couldn't locate them, but took our names & addresses and promised they would be in the mail.

Today, under my door mat is a large manila envelope. Enclosed is one XL Apollo Candy T-Shirt, and one Apollo Candy bar.
